Closing Up Shop for the Summer

I'm headed out of the country for a couple months, and while I'm away my Etsy shop will be temporarily closed. I'll be re-opening on August 10, so please check back if you're interested in buying or commissioning a basket! In the meantime, take a peek at my Gallery to see the baskets that I've made recently, some of which are still available to purchase. Feel free to send me a message (turquoiseandtwill at gmail dot com) if you'd like to reserve a basket in advance of the shop's re-opening.

Have a wonderful summer, all!
- Rachel

Wedding Baskets

This spring, I've made two baskets as wedding gifts - one for some friends of mine whose wedding was last week, and another that was commissioned by my friend Ann (who's also one of my most loyal customers!) for a wedding she has coming up this summer. While the basket I made for Ann is a traditional Williamsburg style, the basket in coral and navy, which were my friends' wedding colors, is a totally original design I came up with just for them. Enjoy the pictures, and send me a note if you've got a wedding basket in mind that you'd like to commission!
